Thanks to Microsoft, for supporting #digitalIndependence by making it so hard to create an #MSGitHub account that people just give up and go to e.g. @Codeberg instead!
A friend tried to create an account these days. They gave them the option of a visual or an audio #CAPTCHA. Both are not *one* CAPTCHA, but a series of *ten*.
If my friend insists on having an MS-GitHub account, they has to solve the CAPTCHA with #AI. Humans have no chance:
(1/2)
(2/2)
They tried the visual one first, but it's really hard to recognise. Maybe my friends #eyesight is not the best, idk. They tried the series twice (i.e. *twenty* CAPTCHAs) and failed.
They then tried the audio capture instead and immediately gave up. According to my friend, it was very fast spoken #english (my friend is not a native speaker of EN) and they could not understand one word. It did not even sound like #SSBE (#ReceivedPronunciation) which they learnt in #school. No chance!
